         The US -led airstrikes have "killed more than half" of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) groups's leadership, US ambassador to Iraq Stuart Jones told a popular Arab channel , Alarabiya news channel. He described the airstrikes as heaving a deadly blow on ISIS. " We estimate that the airstrikes have now killed more than 6000 ISIS fighters in Syria and Iraq" he said. The estimate was calculated by US Central Command and finds ISIS fighters have been killed in Iraq and Syria by coalition airstrikes. Chuck Hagel, US secretary of Defence said "thousads" have been killed but could not actually confirm the 6,000 estimated by US ambassador to Iraq.
